We learned quite a lot of... - We learned quite a lot of history about this mining town - about the miners and their treatment as well as the owners. We saw some pictures of Jerome through the years and learned where many of the structures had been located.

An experience to remember - Courtney, our guide, did an excellent job in taking us through the history of Jerome. She was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and passionate to share her knowledge. The one small recommendation to make is for her to slow down her speech, it would make it easier to keep up with her.

Interesting little town Jerome - The church that burnt down and reused the burnt wood as the window trim was interesting. The sliding jail was great. To see where it started and where it ended up was crazy. The copper mines were also interesting. Austin was very animated about the history of Jerome.
